Sounds like you are trying to reference the remote filesystem from within the slimserver web GUI? Try mounting the remote share on the local machine. That way slimserver will just think it is a local filesystem. mount -t nfs sauron:/path/to/music /mnt/local/dir or mount -t smbfs sauron:/path/to/music /mnt/local/dir And tell slimserver to use "/mnt/local/dir" I'd say NFS is saturating your ethernet because it's more efficient (i.e. transfers faster) than SMB. Hope that helps.
